Howdy,

I’ve been trying to get sunshine setup on my arch (btw) install and things aren’t going the smoothest. My PC has a 4080 and is hardwired to my wifi 7 router and the device I’m streaming to is an AYN Thor. All of those should be relatively beefy devices so there shouldn’t be any bottlenecks there. When I begin streaming a game however, my Thor displays my incoming framerate from the network as, at most, ~30ish FPS. This is despite the fact I can see the game running on my PC at 120+ FPS. Doing some googling it looks like the most likely culprit is just Wayland’s compositor, I guess? It was suggested to try in x11, but Jesus I would hate having to log out of my Wayland instance and into x11 just to stream games.

Anyone stream games on their Linux install? Can anyone think of anything else I can try to increase the framerate? Would really like for this just to work and not need to have a whole process to stream something basic like Xcom or something. Thanks for your guys’ insight!

EDIT: Following in this guy’s footsteps, uninstalling the AUR’s sunshine and instead using the latest build from GitHub seems to have fixed the issue.

    It just has some QoL automations centered around resolution config creation and Virtual Displays/Desktops. The internal bits and pieces are the same otherwise.

      Ah, sweet, thanks for the info. Having to unplug my ultrawide so it uses my secondary monitors 16:9 aspect ratio would be a nice issue to avoid, I’ll try out Apollo.
